SunsetSolidarity is a national movement challenging bagpipers to play at sunset during this time of Covid-19. This is being done as a sign of strength, courage, and hope.
Steve Gengo has been playing in various sites around Kirkland. His 100th appearance was at Marina Park. This time he was in a boat. He played patriotic songs, songs of all branches of the Armed Forces, and some hymns such as Amazing Grace. At sunset he turned to face west and played Taps. It was stirring, awesome, and wonderful.

The boat with the bagpiper is on the left just out of the picture.
The ducks got out of the water and lined up to listen
See the paraglider above the Seattle skyscrapers?
And the American flag flying from the boat?
The bagpiper is standing on the back of the boat
If you look closely on the right you can see a
snow-covered mountain on the Olympic Peninsula
Taps
Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the hills,
From the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
Safely rest,
God is nigh
